Resurrection by Sara Wright

Tufted Titmous

 This morning the skin of the earth turns white and wild winds howl.

Yesterday, rain, fog and mist lifted the snow into sweet moisture – laden air.

I rest in peace.

 A little gray titmouse wakes me up.

Spring weather is “bewildering”.

 The origin of the word bewilder helps explain why I find these radical changes so comforting.

 The word bewilder is a combination of two words  “thoroughly,” and “wilder”…to lure into the wild.

Perhaps to return to the source.

 The weather is still wild….

 Although Earth’s wilderness is fragmented to such an extent that it doesn’t exist anymore at the moment except as weather, it lives on as potential.

 Without human interference this pulsing blue –green planet spinning through dark space is more than capable of rewilding herself.

  This is Resurrection.

  1. You’re right: springtime is the true resurrection, not some tortured man. Beautiful photo of the bird. Bright blessings to springtime!

          1. Or just by things in our area. In Florida we have had an epidemic of violence against small dogs by larger dogs. Or of dogs being stolen. Something nasty is spiritually brewing in the air. But I am praying to Brighid on her day to bring blessings upon us all.

          2. Oh the horrors go on and on – the ones towards animals I literally can’t bear…. Just too much – -and I have friends in NM that can’ t leave their houses without masks – the whole southwest is burning – every day some new torment
